If not, you should buy a copy now so that you will be ready for the sequel, The SeedsWe Sow, which is available at Amazon.com or www.trafford.com. Three of A1 and Shae's children are in medicine as an urolo- gist, orthopedic surgeon and ob-gyn. Their younger daughter takes after her literary father and is in the home stretch for a Ph.D. in English literature at Cornell.

The following report comes from our Webmaster: "Roger and Barbara Bruttomesso, Cack and Joanne Bittner, Pete and Ellie Durno, Bob Eleveld and Michele Mclsaac, Don and Patsy McCree, Hank Milton, John Murphy, John Sherwood, Herb and Joyce Swarzman, Andy and Nathalie Thomas, Larry and Marty Weltin and Phil and Carolyn Wood took in the '58 January Jamboree in Tampa/Clearwater January 9 through 12 and had a great time: A Friday breakfast went for three hours as new classmates continued to show up. A group then went to Tarpon Springs to have a Greek lunch, sightsee and shop. (We never did make it to Busch Gardens.) The Swarzmans and Weltins hosted cocktails and dinner. MC was Welts,' who cracked us up with his stories. The Swarzmans' beautiful place was like a museum of modern art—truly gorgeous. Saturday a golf tournament was held with eight players competing. Joanne Bittner won the coveted Sewing Kit Trophy. Others went sightseeing. Cocktails and dinner were at the hotel, where MC Cack Bittner kept us in stitches. Oh, yes, Murph and Welts entertained us on the piano. (Weltin can still play 'Sentimental Journey' from underneath the piano.)" Photos are on the class Web site.
If these few '58s can have this much fun, think of all you will be missing if you aren't in Hanover from June 9 through 12. Aside from what you have already heard, there will be baking classes at King Arthur Flour, a reception and buffet dinner at the new Montshire Museum, a dinner in the Bema and more than 100 classmates with whom you will be able to engage in rascality magnanimously recalled.
